Let's Talk

  • "During the growth phase of Forbury, Sally played an instrumental role identifying candidates for critical roles. The scope was often broad, and Sally worked hard to present a range of candidates to inform and add value to each search she led for us. The talent we brought on has been a key differentiator for Forbury, and we couldn't have done it without Sally."

Specialist experts aren’t easy to find

Every business owner in New Zealand knows good talent is hard to find. I don’t expect to place a job advert and have applications come flooding in.

Recruitment is a game of join the dots where today’s new connection is tomorrow’s perfect candidate. To find you the right candidate, I’ll do at least 30-50 calls and emails, not to mention many LinkedIn DMs.

My Approach

  • "Sally consistently demonstrated exceptional communication skills, ensuring that all parties were well-informed and satisfied throughout the recruitment process. Her thorough network of qualified candidates and market understanding has resulted in the successful placements of quality employees. Her positive attitude, coupled with her commitment to excellence, has made her a trusted partner in our recruitment efforts."
